6.4 - Overs that New Zealand took to dismiss India's top-three batters on Sunday. These are the fewest overs that any team has needed to dismiss India's top-three batters in a men's ODI since the 2019 World Cup semi-final, where New Zealand took only 3.1 overs.
2 - Instances of India's top-three of Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli getting out in the first 10 overs of an ODI innings. The other instance was against Sri Lanka in 2023 at the Eden Gardens. The trio of Rohit, Gill and Kohli have been India's top-three batters in an ODI on 29 occasions.
46 for 3 - India's total at the end of the 15th over, their second-lowest in men's ODIs since 2020, behind 45 for 2 against South Africa in 2022. India, however, recovered significantly, by scoring 139 runs in the next 25 overs despite losing three more wickets.

10 - Consecutive tosses lost by Rohit Sharma in ODIs. Brian Lara (12 between 1998 and 1999) and Peter Borren (11 between 2011 and 2013) are the only other captains to lose 10 or more successive tosses in men's ODIs.
India have extended their world record streak of not winning a toss in ODIs to 13 matches, courtesy of Rohit's luck with the coin. India went past Netherlands' record of 11 consecutive tosses lost in their previous game against Pakistan.
5 for 42 - Matt Henry's figures against India are the second-best for New Zealand at the Champions Trophy, behind Jacob Oram's 5 for 36 against USA in 2004.
Henry also became the first bowler to take a five-wicket haul against India in the Champions Trophy.
75 - Balls that Shreyas Iyer took to complete his fifty, the slowest of his ODI career. His previous slowest was off 74 balls against West Indies in Ahmedabad in 2022.
563 - Runs scored by Iyer against New Zealand in ODIs are the most he has scored against any opponent. Iyer has scored two centuries and four fifties in the eight ODI innings against New Zealand.
He has been dismissed by pace bowlers in all eight innings against New Zealand, although he has also scored 394 runs against them and struck at 102.60. However, against spinners, he has scored 169 runs off 175 balls without being dismissed.
16 - Runs conceded by Kyle Jamieson in his first seven overs. As many as 29 balls in those seven overs were dot balls, and the Indian batters failed to hit a boundary in those overs. However, his eighth over went for 15 runs, with Hardik Pandya hitting 4, 4 and 6 off consecutive balls.
9 - Wickets bagged by the Indian spinners on Sunday, the joint-most they have taken in a men's ODI. The Indian spin bowlers have previously shared nine wickets in an ODI on four occasions.
The nine wickets are also the joint-most that New Zealand lost to spinners in a men's ODI. They lost nine wickets against the Sri Lanka spinners in an ODI in 1998 and 2001.
3 - Varun Chakravarthy is only the third Indian to take a five-wicket haul in the Champions Trophy, after Ravindra Jadeja, who took 5 for 36 against West Indies in 2013 and Mohammed Shami, who took 5 for 53 against Bangladesh earlier in this edition.
Varun, who was playing in the Champions Trophy for the first time on Sunday, also became only the third bowler to claim a five-wicket haul in his debut match of the competition, after Josh Hazlewood, who took 6 for 52 against New Zealand in 2017 and Shami in this tournament.
It took only two matches for Varun to claim his maiden five-wicket haul in ODIs, the quickest for any Indian in this format. Stuart Binny taking a six-wicket haul in his third match was the previous earliest.
7 - Indians to have featured in 300-plus ODIs, including Kohli, who joined the list on Sunday. Kohli is now part of 22 players who have appeared in 300-plus ODIs.
